I congratulate all
the honorable colleagues on the nomination of IMIDRO as a model
and top organization, as well as receiving a plaque of honor and statue
from the President, Karbasian Said.

Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization
(IMIDRO) has been named as a top organization in the section of selected
agencies affiliated to the ministries, based on general and exclusive
indicators.

According to IMIDRO Public Relations Office, the closing ceremony of the 14th
edition of Martyr Rajaei Festival was held on the occasion of Government
Week and in the presence of President Hassan Rouhani at Tehran’s Summit
Conference Hall where 14 top government organizations were honored.

IMIDRO, Iran Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution Management Co
(Tavanir) and the National Organization for Educational Testing were honored
as top organizations in the section of selected agencies affiliated to the
ministries based on general and exclusive indicators.

IMIDRO CEO Dr. Mehdi Karbasian and heads of the other two organizations
received statues and plaques of honor from President Rouhani.

Part of the President’s message addressed to Dr. Karbasian, read: “Serving
the sacred system of the Islamic Republic and the great nation of Iran is a
great honor on the path to the great religious and revolutionary doctrines
and continuation of the culture of sacrifice and jihad.”

According to the report, previously Dr. Karbasian had received grade 2
badges of merit in management and service in the ‘Reconstruction’ and
‘Reform’ governments, respectively.

Karbasian, Deputy Minister and Chairman of IMIDRO’s Board of Directors also
issued a message on the occasion. “I congratulate all the honorable
colleagues on the nomination of IMIDRO as a model and top organization, as
well as receiving a plaque of honor and statue from the President. The day
when I took over IMIDRO, I focused all my efforts as well as those of my
colleagues, companies and subsidiary units on strengthening cooperation with
the private sector as well as powerful executives and formations. In fact,
the image depicted from IMIDRO in the mid-1392 (2013/14) was an unpleasant
situation to overcome which called for a lofty, all-embracing effort by the
private sector and the government. Shortly after, step by step efforts to
complete the abandoned projects for years further reflected this reality
that empathy and endeavors along with management and planning of all the
directors and experts of the organization, together with cooperation with
the private and non-governmental sector, could lead to such a success.

“IMIDRO boasts of such a companion and seeks continuation of this approach
on the path of building a developed Iran. Activating and launching any mine
and mining industries projects, in addition to driving the industrial wheel
of the country, will keep hope and faith of the workforce alive. In the last
5 years, the use of internal power in the development of this field has been
able to further illustrate the Resistance Economy. Now that the roadmap of
the mine and mining industries has been finalized, it should be admitted
that it is difficult to overcome the challenges ahead in the absence of
continuous and overall efforts of the colleagues and utilization of the
facilities and capacities of the private and non-governmental sectors as
well as cooperation of the organizations. On behalf of all the colleagues,
experts and managers of IMIDRO and the subsidiary companies, I appreciate
and thank all of these beloved ones.”
